This is my fourth profile on the Fediverse lol. This time, I’m hoping Mbin is where I stay!
Thank you for this advice. I actually ended up signing up for Grafana and Loki, however Loki and Grafana Cloud Logs were both overkill for my use case. As a result, I ended up going with Loggly after consulting a Reddit thread and that has been working perfectly. Thank you again, though!
I don’t even trust Steam, let alone Mozilla. I don’t think I’ve ever had any credit card auto-fill on any browser I’ve ever had
How to Disappear Completely is so good
I don’t have any musicians that consistently make me feel that way, so have a list of songs instead:
Usually, I get blocked on the sign-up page. For example, on the Coralogix sign-up page, it won’t let me create my account with an email with a @gmail.com extension
In Atlanta it’s like a -55% chance it works
Honestly, other than the questionable Pokemon-esque models, Pocketpair seem like they have really solid heads on their shoulders
Very, very real haha
I still play once in a blue moon, but only the tiniest amount haha. I’d say you should check out the subreddit for Discord links - there’s a “Royal Para Regiment” Discord with quite a few people that seems to be very active
Dude went ahead and deleted the last one I commented on, at this point I think hes tryina use the “Delete post” button as the search button
Yeah, you’ve really hit it right on the money. I grew up with H&D 2 and it really did have awful AI. The graphics also aren’t doing it any favors in 2024 - it was mildly ugly even by 2003 standards, in my opinion. Still, it had some very imaginative levels and overall the vibes are right for a tactical WW2 shooter. Also, the multiplayer is (somehow) still going!
I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and it’s pretty interesting seeing all the words that it and English have in common (as well as their differences).
Also, Toki Pona as others have mentioned. Might seem like a joke language at first, but the community is really vibrant and kind. You can make some real, meaningful connections through it. Plus, it takes maybe a weekend to get good at Toki Pona.
I’ve been using searxng.site. It’s a deployed SearXNG instance. So far, it works good enough for my use cases. Unless I’m looking up something VERY niche, I get quick results (the images tab is a little slow, but not even close to unbearable).
I would have rolled with Ecosia, but as you can see from my previous post on my profile, I was frustrated that there was no option to filter by “past year”.
Honestly, the gameplay was what kept me from finishing the game. It was not the best, and I felt like it really left a lot to be desired (specifically in controls and the “feel” of shooting).
Also before I get any comments about it, I’ve already seen the scenes at the end of the game and I’m really not interested in finishing it. I know what I’m missing, and I’m okay with that (as emotionally touching as it is).
Oh, I almost forgot - Hidden and Dangerous and Hidden and Dangerous 2 are also great. They’re very similar to Arma (but released before Arma afaik, and have smaller maps). Pretty solid, but I do feel that the controls have not aged well at all (for example, they use the “end” key to aim down sights by default). They are overall pretty enjoyable, but to be honest, nostalgia aside, you aren’t missing a ton if you don’t play them. There are a lot of rough edges, such as grenades not killing enemies that are close because a chair leg was in the way.
If you’re gonna play any of the games I recommend, I would say play Vietcong and give it a real shot. The game starts slow but by the 3rd mission it gets intense
Honestly, try Battlefield 1942 on single player. It’s not half bad - the AI is about as smart as you would expect, but it’s still fun to fight them. Also, the multiplayer is still going if you wanna try that!
Also, not WW2, but I HIGHLY recommend giving Vietcong a try (both the base game and Fist Alpha). It’s one of the most engrossing games I’ve ever played. If you can get past the derpy (by today’s standards) character models, this game has a seriously compelling campaign and there are still occasional multiplayer matches. If there was ever a game to make the Vietcong and NVA scary as fuck, it’s that one.
There are definitely still servers for Day of Defeat’s spiritual successor, Day of Infamy
Well, that was intense lol.
Looked surprisingly polished for a project to “introduce the team” to the engine
I don’t think this would ever be achievable. It also sounds like a broader form of technocracy (to my very much unqualified brain)
